Peter, Very funny. You nearly made me spew coffee all over my monitor.
Edward, As a committed Christian I have no problem whatsoever with the mascot. I understand the obvious play on words between a daemon and a demon. Those who would have problems with this mascot have other, deeper issues that need dealt with. I think this quote says it all; "Those without a sense of humor are at the mercy of the rest of us." I also agree with those who have already mentioned that FreeBSD is not really driven by any marketing schema. The reason I chose FreeBSD is because I found it superior to Linux and Windoze, regardless of it's mascot.
